ABOUT THE TEST (from The Test Book below)
The Narcissism questionnaire by Henry Murray from 1938 was updated in 2013 by a team of psychologists lead by Jonathan Cheek, to make it easier to identify covert narcissists.
The Test Book by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschappeler
"Don't be shocked if you get a high score in this test. Many studies suggest that we are living in a narcissistic age "
